Derrick
Since no other colleagues volunteered to have their portrait made - having, I guess, been frightened off by my earlier works - I had to do myself.
I’d run out of the cartridge paper I was using and switched to an inexpensive Profi-Block paper, which is surprisingly hard to paint with. Watercolour is absorbed almost immediately by this paper, allowing less time for feathering edges and dry-brush fix-ups. It also provides less previous colour pick-up, when attempting wet-on-wet later on. I’m sure I can get used to it, but my technique will need to change to accomodate the medium.
As for the subject; I’m sure I don’t have that much hair and I failed to capture the Oswald mouth that Grandma gave us all.
